Bond yields edged higher on risk-aversion

17 Nov 2014 Evaluate

Bond yields were trading lower on incremental demand for safe haven bonds as risk aversion made a comeback globally after data showed Japan's economy unexpectedly slipped into recession. However, sharper uptick in yields was unlikely on account of higher prices of crude oil.

On the global front, U.S. short-dated Treasuries prices dipped on Friday after stronger-than-expected U.S. retail sales data hinted at a more hawkish Federal Reserve, while longer-dated Treasuries prices rose as some buyers stepped in to pick up higher U.S. yields. Additionally, brent crude fell to $79 a barrel on Monday following comments from the West's energy watchdog that a return to high oil prices was unlikely soon.

Back home, the yields on new benchmark 8.40%-2024 bonds was trading 3 basis points lower at 8.19% from its previous close of 8.22% on Friday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 2 basis points lower at 7.44% from its previous close of 7.46% on Friday.

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the auction of 91 and 182 day Government of India Treasury Bills for notified amount of Rs 8,000 crore and Rs 6000 crore respectively. The auction will be conducted on November 19, 2014 using 'Multiple Price Auction' method.
